alcina Opera Theatre Company presents; The marriage of figaro by mozart

11/05/10

7.30pm

€22.00 & €20.00 conc

Filled with love, The Marriage of Figaro tackles that deepest of human emotions with the lightest of comic touches. Directed by Annilese Miskimmon, Figaro bubbles joyously with Mozart’s enthusiasm for life.

While charming melodies and gorgeous harmonies ripple across the surface, dark undercurrents of sexual tension and class resentment swirl beneath. The predatory Count Almaviva, bored with married life, has cast his aristocratic eye upon his wife’s servant, the enchanting Susanna, who is about to marry the Count’s factotum Figaro.

Sit back and observe the ensuing comical chaos as mistaken identities, cross-dressing, jilted lovers and vengeful suitors are added to the mix.

Opera Theatre Company’s captivating production of Mozart’s comic masterpiece celebrates twenty-four years of touring of opera throughout Ireland.

Sung in English, with the glorious score conducted by Fergus Sheil and performed by OTC’s touring ensemble, The Marriage of Figaro will delight the seasoned fan and first time opera-goer alike.

“A terrific night’s entertainment ... this company is driven by ideas, takes risks, and always a fresh and interesting approach.”

Ripe for a revival in these stringent times this fresh look at The Brother was premiered in Spring 2009, and has, in spite of the penury of the masses, been playing to gatherings of raucous and enthusiastic rabble around the country.
